A Question of Silence
Directed by Marleen Gorris • 1982 • Netherlands
Starring Edda Barends, Nelly Frijda, Henriëtte Tol
After three women—strangers with no premeditated motive—kill a male shopkeeper in the middle of the day, a female psychiatrist (Cox Habbema) is assigned to the case to find out why. Marleen Gorris’s bombshell debut is a provocative thriller that ignited much controversy upon its release but, in its searing vision of female rage in the face of patriarchal violence, has taken its place as a classic of feminist cinema.
